Because they’re overpriced.

It’s also $80,000 nicely equipped

Because it is not a built from the ground up electric vehicle that’s their problem

At least it can be fixed with aftermarket. This... thing can't.

Looks very bland and under inspired. Love the freezing fog after effect photos.

Tesla only works when there are good rebates and tax incentives. The interior and build quality are absolute trash.

Also, almost all new cars will be EVs in less than a couple of decades. Meanwhile, you can keep lying to yourself.

Appreciate the passion, but let’s clarify: acknowledging market trends and consumer preferences isn’t my ‘narrative’; it’s just recognizing where the industry is heading.

If EV’s are so popular then why are manufacturers practically giving them away.
Ohh I know…No one is buying them. In addition the resale is atrocious.

You are incorrect my new model three is $54,990 without incentives…and there’s nothing else on the market that can touch it and the build is now fantastic with an exception of the paint and I got that rectified.

They suck at customer service and that’s just reality. Hopefully that will change in time but until then they are the worst.

Because for the price they’re selling them at there’s no value proposition. They are building overrated vehicles for a ridiculously high price and nobody’s interested in that.

The used price is about $3 Million, more expensive than a new one (Which is about t$2.5Million). As they only make like 40 a year.

There’s a new one (2023) for sale in Naples, FL listed for $2.75M. Used market can’t be for over msrp if this new one is sitting for this long. Again, I’d like to see some real, not anecdotal data

I do not care as long as it's not forced down our throats. As long as BMW offers both EV and ICE options, the market and technology will dictate what stays and what goes. If ICE loses demand and BMW stops producing them, that's fine with me.

That said, your post that those who dislike the idea of an electric M3 are "the problem with the world" seems a bit extreme. im pretty sure there are more critical problems in the world than someone preferring a combustion engine over an EV?

Ironically, you're accusing others of being close minded while unwilling to accept different opinions yourself. Not everyone who prefers ICE vehicles is "against change and innovation." Some may not like the driving experience

OK here let me make it more relevant to you. You have no clue as to what you’re comparing ones a sedan and so the other, but nothing is similar when it comes to the design itself so yeah, either go get your eyes checked or quit posting stupid shit.

There is not a single new ICE car that is available that depreciates like an EV.

50%+ depreciation in a year is just absurd and speaks volumes.

That’s actually not true but the problem is those EV’s are overpriced to begin with now back to reality
